Oh, sorry I kind of miscounted the hyphens 
and yes I was basically too focused just on the word that I forgot to count other hyphens on the line as well.
What I really wanted to do was to sort by hyphen between the first word of 3rd line which is inside []
And about the IPA characters/symbols, I don't think it matters as I didn't realise you were asking just for the file names. However, the file contents contains IPA symbols [International Phonetic Alphabet] like "æʊθʃŋː" to guide me to pronounce the words. For example, to pronounce apple, I refer to either [ap-uh l] OR /ˈæp əl/ written on the 3rd line of the file. Sorry, I guess I was kinda distracted in the morning as well.
Some of my file names include "!", ".", "+" instead of space. Other than that, it is all single lined file name. And there isn't any quotes.
Sorry I thought it would be simple to execute/manipulate commands to 3rd line in txt files but seems like I am in deep deep trouble for a beginner
It doesn't have to be done as this is just one of my personal project 
I apologize for all the trouble caused

It doesn't have to be done as this is just one of my personal project I apologize for all the trouble caused - I believe that you want to count the number of hyphens between the [ at the start of the third line in a file and the first space or ] that follows it on that line. Is that correct?
- If for some reason a file is unreadable, contains less than three lines, or the third line does not contain an open square bracket ([) followed by a close square bracket (]), should that file be moved to the 0H directory (since there aren't any hyphens on the 3rd line), left where they are (with no notice printed), left where they are with a message explaining why the file was not moved, or moved to another directory (perhaps named Unknown)?
- I believe that the first character on the third line will always be a [ character. Is that always the case, or should the script verify the line format before counting hyphens?
P.S. I was wrong about find -print0 and xargs -0 on OS X (they are supported), but they won't help in this case. But the non-standard option that would really help here (mv -t destination_directory) is not available on OS X.
